More about our exciting school expeditions to Africa…

Paul Davies, one of our directors, is currently the Head of Biology at an independent boarding school in Cambridge. For the past five years, he has led expeditions to Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa as well as organising other schools’ expeditions to the African continent.

In short, while investigating locations for A2 coursework that were a little more inspiring than Norfolk, Paul ended up selecting the Okavango Delta in Botswana and organising a general interest overland expedition through several southern African countries.

If you have 5 minutes, please take the time to view the sample itineraries and photos. We cannot over-emphasise the success of these trips. They are wonderfully educational, include some amazing activities such as the Okavango experience, several types of safari, white-water rafting, gorge swinging, sky-diving, quad biking and walking with lions as well as establishing long term relationships with schools in dire need of support from their associations with schools in the UK.

If, like some, designing an itinerary, paper work, risk assessments, paranoid parents, red tape, immunisations, visas, etc., have dissuaded you from organising such trips, then this is where we are hoping we can help. We understand precisely the challenges you face and Chance Of a Lifetime Travel (COLT) has been established to help you at every stage. We are the experts at creating a bespoke African travel itinerary, answering your questions and providing solutions to the logistical challenges and the red tape that may have held you up… until now.
